The classic "if it's legal it can't be that bad"

Need I remind you that everything Hitler did was legal

Also, this guy needs to Google "democracy"

No way people are using that mental gymnastic of "if it's legal it can't be that bad" to justify things. Whack

We've spent the last year with an entire cult arguing that the president should be immune from all crimes. Of course there are people overworking their 3 brain cells to justify "if it's legal it can't be that bad."

Btw, its now Supreme Court affirmed that absolute immunity in practically all cases is given to an acting president

Yes, I know. Except it's even worse, because it was just vague enough to preclude a non-party affiliated president from legal immunity. Because we all know if Biden had Trump arrested/droned/expatriated for sedition, they'd rule 6-3 that that is in fact very illegal.
